voters in jacksonville, florida. he is swinging back to boston for mitt romney, and we will have both candidates live. and the outlook for employment is looking bleak. there are 34,000 more than the week before. a u.s. military helicopter has crash crashed in oman. it happened today about 15 miles from the kun tcountry's capital five crew members were on board. the condition is not clear. military officials don't know what caused the crash, but they say it was deaf net nitly not attacked. the u.n. security council tried to slap a new set of sanctions on syria, but it filled. the allies and the permanent u.n. security council members, china and russia, said no, and the u.n. ambassador is frustrated. >> the security council has failed utterly in the most important task on the agenda this year. this is another dark day in turtle bay. one can only hope that one day

before too many thousands more die that russia and china will stop protecting assad and allow this council to play its proper role. >> because of the battleground states in the presidential race, florida is a big prize, and no surprise that president obama's campaign is there today. he kicks off with a rally in jacksonville, and it is scheduled to begin in 15 minutes from now. we will take you live to that event. as the president campaigns in florida another national poll shows him in a dead heat with mitt romney. in a cbs/new york times poll, romney has a slight edge over the president, 47% to 46%, and that is well within the margin of error, so it makes it a tie. dan lothian is traveling with the obama campaign in jacksonville. so, dan, the campaign is saying that the president is going to focus on the economy, and the middle-class, but if you look at flori florida's unemployment rate, 8.6%, and the fifth highest foreclosure rate in the country,

and how does he cater his message, and tailor the message to folks who are really looking for solutions? >> well, that is a good question, because you are right. florida is dealing with some very difficult problems here. just to give you a sense of how important this state is, this is the third time that the president has been here in the month and the fourth time this year, and the message is much broader than just the general economic message that we have been hearing now out there on the stump speech. the president will be going right after that big group, 18 million, and more than 18 million scene your it enior cit the state of florida, and so the president will talk about medicare and what his policies will do to help their lives easier and end the gaps and make it for affordable to buy prescription medicine, but in addition to that, you will hear the president continue the theme of helping to lift the middle-class and going after his opponent who the president says

is looking out only for this top half, and the wealthiest americans and not for the middle class. the president will say that his policies are there to not only lift the middle-class, but many lift those who are below the middle-class into the middle-class, suzanne. >> dan, we know that florida is a big surprise among the battleground states and he spent a lot of of time there in 2008, and won by three points. it is a toss-up and pretty much tied this go around and are there specific groups he wants to identify with, and relate to and hit today? >> well, i think that the senior citizens are obviously the big group, but also the hispanics, because the hispanics are a big part of the populationer h eherd in fact, the president was on a radio show prior to coming here in washington, d.c. talking about how the policies and the immigration and other issues will help the hispanic community and also going after here in the state of florida military veterans and those younger voters who are the core group of

people that the president is trying to target. it requires money and the president is lagging behind mitt romney in the race for campaign cash. today, a little bit of good news, if you will, for the obama campaign at least those who support him, getting $1 million donation from a morgan freeman, the big movie star saying that the president has done a lot in spite of the difficult situation that the nation has been in spelling out that the president and the war in iraq talking about the president putting some reforms on wall street. also going into the issue of what the president has done to help the auto industry through the auto bailout, and the obama campaign coming here today putting forth the message of economic recovery and what the president has done to turn it around and at the same time getting the high profile donation from a hollywood star, suzanne. >> dan, good to see you. and supreme court justice

antonin scalia says he is offended over the criticism of the ruling over health care reform. he denies rift between him and chief justice roberts. roberts sided with the liberal justices to uphold the health care law, and with an exclusively interview with piers morgan, scalia said that the justices don't decide cases on politics. >> do you believe any of them decided on a politically motivated session? >> no. >> and i know you cannot discuss -- >> never. >> and what about the health care thing? >> well, i don't believe that any of the colleagues vote because of political reasons. they vote the way they do, because of their own judicial philosophy. and they may have been selected by the democratics, because they have that particular philosophy or maybe they were selected by the republicans, because they have that particular judicial philosophy. >> scalia says that the case he

gets asked about the most is "bush v. gore" and his response to that is get over it. well, he battled president bush for the white house, and now john mccain is going one-on-one with piers morgan and you have to check it out. wolf blitzer is interviewing house speaker john boehner, and you can see that in "the situation room" beginning at 4:00 p.m. eastern. and now the man who shot trayvon martin is telling his side of the story before the second-degree murder trial. in an interview, he tells fox news sean hannity that he had to kill him, because the teen threatened his life and went for his gun holster. i want to bring in former federal prosecutor sunny hos stin, and first of all, we want to play some of the sclips of the interview. any possible clues about this in terms of the defse strategy, because at one point, you have zimmerman saying that what

happened is god's plan, and then you will hear an emotional reaction from trayvon martin's mother. let's listen. >> do you regret getting out of the car to follow trayvon that night? >> norse. >> do you regret that you had a gun that night? >> norse. >> do you feel that you wouldn't be here for this interview if you didn't have that gun? >> no, sir. >> do you feel that you would not be here? >> i feel that it is all god's plan, and for me to second guess it or judge it -- >> is there anything that you might do differently retrospect now that time has passed a little bit? >> no, sir. >> i think that it is absolutely ridiculous. god did not have a plan for trayvon to die. and for george zimmerman to shoot trayvon for no reason. >> sunny, what do you make of that, the language that we are hear noug, god's pling now of g?

how is that going to play out in court? >> well, it is a strategy by the defense, because it is very unusual, suzanne, for a criminal defendant, and especially a defendant facing second-degree murder charges to be interviewed, because that defendant then becomes wedded to his statements and the statements to sean hannity in this case. so, you kn, what is the motivation for sitting for the interview? what is the motivation behind the wording? some are saying that it is maybe shaking the can. we know that funds have been depleted because his bail has been increased. some are saying, you know, this was not so much an interview with sean hannity, but perhaps with prospective jurors in florida. i don't know that he moved the needle that much. if you look at the reaction on twitter and facebook, those that were george zimmerman supporters remain george zimmerman supporters and those who find him and his story not credible or incredible were offended by

the language of using god's plan and offended by the fact that he said he didn't regret, initially said that he did not regret his actions in what he did that evening. >> sunny, you mentioned that and he clarified the comments about whether or not he had regrets, and i want you to listen to what he said and the reaction from one of the attorneys of the martin family. >> i'd like to readdress your question when you asked if i would have done anything differently. when you asked that, i thought you were referring to if i would not have talked to the police, if i would have maybe got an attorney or maybe i wouldn't have taken the cbsa and that i stand by, i would not have done anything differently, but i do wish that there was something, anything i could have done that wouldn't have put me in the position where i had to take his life. >> he made a rush to judgment to label trayvon as criminal and

suspicious. he got out of the car. and he put trayvon in the position. trayvon went to the grave not knowing who the strange man was who confronted him. >> and so, sunny, you have them saying clear in the wording that he says he does wish there was something that i could have done that wouldn't have put me in the position to where i wouldn't have taken his life, so th sounds like they are setting up some sort of strategy or argument in the defense. >> sure. that is going to be the spin that the defense spin is that he was put in this position by trayvon martin's actions. but suzanne, having tried so many cases and interviewed so many witnesses as a former prosecutors, the jurors take their common sense with them to the jury room when they deliberate, and what is the objective evidence in this case? well, on the 911 tape george zimmerman says he was following trayvon martin, even though the dispatcher asked him not to do that. there is a lot of objective

evidence that quite frankly contradicts a lot of the things that he said to the police and that he said during this police interview. i never think it is a good idea for a defendant to use a strategy giving media interviews. it is always a bad idea. >> and finally, sunny a quick question here shg, zimmerman apologized to the martin family, and is that an admission of guilt? >> well, no, i don't think. so he did not go that far in terms of the apology and i did not hear an admission of guilt. that is not going to be used. that portion of the interview, but to be sure this prosecution this very day is going over that interview with a fine tooth comb and will be looking for inconsistenci inconsistencies, and this is not the last that we have heard of that interview. i suspect that we will see it at trial. >> all right. sunny hostin, thank you. appreciate it. this is what we are working on this hour sh, the suicide

now that's personal pricing. the suicide bomber had a michigan driver's license and that is what officials in bulgaria are saying today. we are talking about the explosion that killed five israeli tourists and a bus driver that happened yesterday outside of a airport on bulgaria's black seacoast. they say that michigan driver's license was probably a phony. we now have surveillance footage of the man who may have set off the bomb. this is the airport, in the airport at burgas, bull garia, and police believe that this man here in the shorts is the bomber, and they believe that the backpack is the bomb. i want to go live to atika schubert who is at the airport where that bomb exploded yesterday. first of all n the last hour, you mentioned a name of a potential name of the suspect. do we have any more information about who this person may be?

>> yeah. in fact, i have to correct that, because the bulgarian interior minister and we spoke to him and he said that the name is pure speculation, and he said he does not know where the name is coming from and any indication that is the suspect that they are looking for and as far as he is concerned, they are still trying to identify the suspect, and they have taken dna samples and fingerprints and passed it the fbi and authorities and interpol and still trying to identify this man. >> any idea of where he is from at all and tell us more about the fake driver's license, whether that gives us any indication of whether he is american or anything else. >> we do not know where he is from. what the interior minister of bulgaria told us is that they believe he is not bulgarian, and he arrived here possibly four days ago or maybe a little bit more than a week ago. to sort of scope out the area, and they are trying to follow up a number of leads, but they say they have not been able to identify him yet.

they said that he had a very striking appearance, and you can see in the video, the very long hair he had, and they are trying to follow up with people who may have seen him. but we don't know that much about him, and the fact that there is a u.s. driver's license does not mean that much, because we know that it is a fake. the bulgarian minister said clearly that the address is completely wrong, and the person there does not exist. so it seems to be a complete fake i.d. >> and atika, we know that the israelis are blaming the iranians for this, and do the bulgarians have any informion about who is potentially behind the bombing? >> no. they are being very cautious about that, because they want to get to the brass tacks of the investigation and find something out first before they make any allegations. they don't want to speculate any further, and i want to tell you because the interior minister brought us here, and this is the exact spot where the attack happened and the buses lined up exactly where they would have been on the day of the attack. he brought us here personally and went through the area, and explained how the evidence was

collected and even while we were here, there were bits of evidence here, and in fact, we brought this sort of charred remains of the $10 bill here that may have come from one of the buses that was obviously affected by the explosion. so, so we doknow that they are combing through everything to find out exactly who did this and what was the motive. >> and atika, the fact that you could pick up something from the crime scene evidence here. what are people at the airport, i mean, how are they feeling? what are they thinking about this? is it open? people milling around? traveling there? >> well, the airport is now officially open, and in fact, we have seen a number of passengers coming in looking very tired on the flights that were canceled all day yesterday, but also very worried. they are jittery about the security, and there is now heightened security here. before you can even get on to the road here, people are randomly checked and the bags are searched. a lot of people are saying they

are happy for the extra security, but others say it makes them nervous and they want to go home. >> all right.schubert, thank yo much. the severe drought is not only hurting our crops, be also the cattle. we will show you what is happening. then, some said, we lost our edge. well today, there's a new new york state. one that's working to attract businesses and create jobs. a place where innovation meets determination... and businesses lead the world. the new new york works for business. find out how it can work for yours at thenewny.com.

the obama administration is warning about the impact of the historic drought on food supplies. more than 3/4 of the nation's corn and soybean crops are in areas affected now by the drought. now the administration is calling on congress to renew disaster aid programs that have now lapsed. agriculture secretary tom vilsack says that the farmers need all of the help they can get. >> now, it is all hands on deck. president is very concerned abmaking sure that we do everything that we can to help as many producers as we can through the difficult circumstance. >> the usda, the department of agriculture does not have the tools that it once had to help the people through the difficult time. >> and the drought is taking a

toll on the rivers. in iowa, concerns that low water levels could affect barge traffic. with more than half of the country in some state of drought, and crops and dairy and livestock all impacted. ed lavandara is taking to us a cattle ranch where they are in a struggle. >> reporter: and now he is in a fight for the toughest fight he has ever experienced in the hills of arkansas trying to save the cattle herd. stacy has brought out the couple of bales of hay, and they know it is feeding time. drought is thinning out the h d herd. these are the last cows that stacy ai have has in the last few months because of the drought conditions, he has had to sell off half the herd. are you save them? >> i i will feed them through the summer hoping for late fall rain to get some grass for grazing, and if there is no fall rain, i figure that we will have to sell out. >> reporter: normally this time of the year the cattle should

graze on natural pasture land here sh here, so it is totally out of the ordinary and extremely costly for stacy to have to bring in hay to feed the herd. arkansas agriculture officials say that the rainfall is 10 inches below normal and ranchers sayt is the most dire situation they have seen in deskads. >> it is one of the worst natural disasters in the state of arkansas. >> that bad? >> that bad, statewide. >> reporter: almost every county in the state has been declared federal di ssaster areas becaus of the drought, and if the cattle ranchers cannot afford to keep feeding the herd, this is where they end up, at action, and the ranchers say they have never seen so many cattle up for sale. you were not joking, because when you cake around the corner, they followed you pretty good. >> they know when the tractor starts up there, is the hay on the way. >> reporter: here comes the food. and stacy avi hoping to hang on long enough to see it rain again. >> it is depressing to farm and

have the livestock to keep them the way you want them to be and then to sell them. >> reporter: ed levin daendara, arkansas. and do we even check where the food is grown? we have to bring in kat from eatocracy. i have to tell you that i don't know what is grown here and somewhere else. is it on a label somewhere or how do you do that? >> well, you not the only one who has that difficulty and luckily not the only one looking for it. meat has to have a country of origin label on it. it is a little bit harder to tell with the vegetables. when produce is grown in the usa quite often the farmer is going to take a lot of pride in that, and put it directly on the label that it is made in the usa. i mean, other wise, you can as much as possible go directly to the farm, to the farmer, because

that cuts out the middleman and makes sure that as much money as possible is getting directly to the farmers, because as we can all see, they need it right now. >> and basically going to the farmer's market or more that you can do? >> there are, well, we ran an editorial by a good friend of mine who is a shepherd earlier in the week, and he gave me a few easy ways that you can help out. first of all, eat like a farmer. which means to go with what is in season. if you are eating a water mel lomellon in the middle of january no, way it is local. and you can be sure that you are eating in season there. and check the label. also, like we said, often if it is an american farmer, he will have pride nit and say grown in the usa and if possible, closer to you and the closer the fresher, and the better. and you can also really buy directly at a rmfarmer's market, and if there is not one

near, and you will be surprised how many are near you, you can go to harvest.org to find the farmers near you to deal directly with the farmer. you can also ask your supermarket to stock regional products, and that way, you know that they are grown near you. you are keeping a way of life and heritage alive for all of the, you know, for the artisans who are around you. and another thing that you can do is to go to made in america dash usa.org and there are some farmers and producers have been designated as american culinary treasures and certified as made in the usa and champions and artisans of what they are doing, and make sure that your money is going directly to the people who need it right now. >> i love my farmer's market in the neighborhood, kat, and you are doing a poll right now to see where people pay attention to where the food is grown. what are you finding? >> we did. at the bottomf of the article, we asked people, do you pay attention to where your food is

grown and also sort of how much do you care? 51% of people said that, yes, they do care very much, and they look, but they might not have to make the decision based on price and quality. another 20.87% were saying they buy american food no matter what. so, you know, only a few people were saying that it is really not making a difference or they don't look, so it seems that people are paying attention, and it is a matter of cost and really from what i am hearing from all of the farmers, if you can possibly dig deeper right now and spend the extra dollar or two, you are not just paying forrer the food now, but paying for the food in the future. >> thank you, kat, as always. scientists discover a ancient galaxy that appeared millions of year, but my next guest says it is more proof that aliens exist. you can watch cnn on your computer while you are at work. head to cnn.com/tv.

some big news from space, and scientists have discovered an ancient galaxy they almost didn't believe it at first. 11 billion years old and pluto has a new moon even though it is not a planet. this is the fifth moon of pluto that scientists have made. nasa released this telescope image of the new discovery. the new moon on the discovery is called p-5. joining me is physics professor who is -- thank you for being with us, and there is a lot going on that we didn't know. tell us about the moon discovery and what does that mean? >> well, pluto has pups. who thought that the iceball in outer space has five little moonlets going around it. now, if you are a second-grader, you probably protested and marched gaiagainst the idea of kicking pluto out of the solar system. well, sorry about that, but pluto is an iceball, and it is not a rocky planet like the earth or a gas giant like

jupiter, it is an oddball, and we called it a dwarf planet and otherwise known as overgrown comet made of ice. >> yes, that shocked me when pluto was not discovered as a planet, but something completely different and now has another moon. you work with the discovery channel on a series called "curiosity" and one of the episodes explores the possibility of extraterrestrial life, and you say it is thousands or maybe millions more advanced than us, and tell us what you suspect? >> well, the satellite has identified 2,000 planets orbiting other solar systems and tonight when you look at the night sky, realize that somebody could be looking back at you. if there is a life form out there, they could be literally millions of years ahead of us. the universe is 13.7 billion years old so a million years is nothing compared to the age of the universe, and for the most part, i think that they are going to be friendly, but if, if they are hostile, it would be like bambi meeting godzilla if

we had to fight them. >> why? why do you say that? [ laughter ] >> realize, if they are that advanced, they can reach the earth from a distant star. they are already thousands of year years ahead of us in technology. and we would present no military challenge to such an advanced civilization. now, realize for the most part, there are lots of uninhabited planets with resources on them, so fi that can reach the earth, that i can reach other planets that run inhabited, so hopefully they will leave us alone, but if one of them are is hostile, watch out, because we are a pushover for them, and forget all of the hollywood movies. >> you also make the point, too, that if aliens ever did invade, it could be an opportunity, a chance for countries for nations to get together when they see a common enemy. >> that is right. when president ronald reagan met h mikhail gorbachev. gorbachev was shocked, shocked

out of his mind that ronald r reagan said to him, you know, if the martians ever invade the earth you and me would be allies in the fight against the martians. well, gorbachev later wrote that he was floored by that comment, but you know something, ronald reagan was probably right, if we are ever invaded by the martians or some civilization, we would hunker down and get together to fight off the martians. >> and finally, you think that if we are approached by extraterrestrials, it would be likely friendly, because they have resources other places in the universe? it is that we would have common similarities with the other bodies according to your research? >> well, they would leave us alone. if you are walking down a country road and you see ants and you say, i bring you trinkets and beads, or wouldou leave the ants they would be

peaceful, i believe, because they have thousandses of years to work out the racism, and fundamentalism, and sectarianism, and so for the most part they have thousands of years to work tout internal differences so they will be friendly, but we have to prepare for the possibility that they aren't. >> professor, thank you as always. fascinating, fascinating journey in outer space, and all of the discoveries that you are making there. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> sure. mitt romney is making the case that he should be president, and he is doing it in a mostly african-american boston community. wow, governor, thank you. producing cleaner electricity, putting us to work here in america and supporting wind and solar. though all energy development comes with some risk, we're committed to safely and responsibly producing natural gas. it's not a dream. america's natural gas... putting us in control of our energy future, now.

mitt romney keeping up the attack on president obama over jobs and small businesses. now romney is going to be speaking shortly in suburban boston. and jim acosta is covering the romney campaign and we are getting ready to see him speak there. we know, jim, he has seized on the theme that president obama

does not understand how business works and obviously a chance to changeb the conversation and shift the focus away from the tax returns and his own business record. does that ring true? >> absolutely. suzanne, i think that they have changed the conversation, and in rt pa, it is because of something that the president said last friday at a rally down in roanoke, virginia, when the president used the words to the business owners, you didn't build that. the romney campaign sensed a new line of attack and have been running with it really in the last 24 to 48 hours where they feel they have been penetrating the news cycle that has been going on for the last several days that is really putting them under the gun with the attacks on mitt romney's business experience, and his tax return and they feel like they have broken through all of that with the comment that the president made about saying that you didn't build that. as a matter of fact, just this morning, the romney campaign put out a new web video that seizes on this, and features a business owner from new hampshire, and

let's play a little bit of that and give you more contextt on to the other side. >> if you have been successful, you didn't get there on your own. you didn't get there on your own. i'm always struck by people who think that well, it must be because i was so smart. there are a lot of smart people out there. it must be because i worked harder than everybody else. let me tell you something, if you have a business, you didn't build that. somebody else made that happen. >> my father's hands didn't build this company. my hands didn't build this company? >> and so you see at the tail end of the clip that business owner saying, i didn't build this company, and my father didn't build this company? well, now the romney campaign has set up this recently-put together event that is going to happen in a few moments from now at a local business near his

headquarters here in boston and obviously, not a battleground state, suzanne, but obviously, they are not trying to win the state of massachusetts, but this is an indication that the romney campaign feels like they have a pretty potent issue here, and why not? why not keep this going, and that is what they are doing in a few moments from now, and i should mention that the obama campaign has put out its own web video and the campaign has said that the president is taking the words out of context and what the presidentt meant to say and there was value in having firefighters and public teachers and public infrastructure and all of those things taken together do help the private sector and that is t purpose of the president's comments, and that mitt romney is taking the comments out of context and exploiting that and that is where the debate is. but at the moment, we are not talking about bain capital, but at the president said last friday. >> obviously, they see some momentum behind that. jim, thank you. appreciate it. house speaker john boehner says that president obama, quote, and these are his words, doesn't

give a damn about the middle-class. is he standing by the harsh criticism? well, wolf blitzer is interviewing speaker boehner and that is going to be seen at 4:00 eastern. we also are waiting for mitt romney to step up to the mike in boston and we will bring it to you live when it starts. that's why there's glucerna hunger smart shakes. they have carb steady, with carbs that digest slowly to help minimize blood sugar spikes. and they have six grams of sugars. with fifteen grams of protein to help manage hunger... look who's getting smart about her weight.

eggs, peanuts with, shellfish, delicious, right, but they can be deadly for children with allergies. i want to bring in elizabeth cohen to talk about really, what is this method about and how does it work? >> this is a really exciting new study, because there hasn't been a lot new out there to help kids with alleges.

so what these researchers at northwestern university did, is they give kids who are allergic to eggs teeny, weeny weeny bits of eggs, like 1/10,000th of an egg, in a powder form, and then raised it really, really gradually and monitored them the whole time and here's what happened. what they found is that the 40 kids on this therapy, which is called immunotherapy, these 40 kids, 30 of them were cured temporarily, and i use that in quotes, because i don't like the word "cured," but out of those 30, 11 were cured long-term. in other words, those 11 kids who couldn't touch an egg before now can sit down and chow down on, you know, fried eggs or scrambled eggs or whatever. so that's pretty amazing. >> this was a group of 40, some did better than others. >> and i should say, this was done at the university of north carolina, and not northwestern. i'm sorry, tell me what you were going to say again. i just realized that. >> the rest of the kids, how did they do? >> this is divided from 40, 30

did much better than 10. >> that's right, some of these kids, it just didn't work. they did the full therapy and it didn't work. some of the kids couldn't tolerate the full therapy. they started to have allergic reactions and some needed to have epi pens given to them. so some of the kids, the it could have been considered dangerous. that's why this is still being considered experimental. it worked beautifully for some kids, but could have really hurt other kids. >> so if you're a parent or grandparent and have kids who are allergic to the eggs. >> whether it's eggs or strawberries or peanuts or whatever, the first is, do not try this at home. here's the second time i'm going to say that, do not try this at home. i can see parents cutting it up -- don't do that, because you could actually kill your child. go to cnn.com/empoweredpatient and you'll see a blog there by my colleague, elizabeth landau, and in there a link to clinicaltrials.gov.

csu is doing them, duke is doing them, some other places are doing them and you can become involved ithese clinical trials if you want to. >> is it worth to actually make that step, that first step, or is it really difficult for parents and grandparents to keep the things away from the things they're allergic to. >> i think sometimes it's really tough, especially when you're talking about peanuts or eggs, because peanuts or eggs in some form or another is in so many different things and it's really hard. you've got to read labels or when you go to restaurants, you're trusting the chef when you say, are there peanuts in this, and they say no, it is hard. it's really tough to have a kid with an allergy like this. >> so maybe worth it, to at least look into those clinical trials. >> and go in with your eyes open. it might not work, but it might be something worth investigating. >> elizabeth, thank. >> thanks. >> appreciate it. imagine driving on an expressway, another car comes at you in the opposite direction. a driver's worst nightmare, right? well, it's all on tape. >> there it is! oh, good god! now you can apply sunblock

you're about to see a video, it's probably going to make your heart race. an alabama family was on vacation in florida when they saw a driver swerve on to oncoming traffic. now, they tried to get his attention, make him stop. how did it end? jeanne moos, she's got the story. >> reporter: there's something very wrong with this picture,

the wrong-way driver. you can hear a passenger in the car from which this video was shot calling 911. >> he's going every bit of 70. >> reporter: they had watched the car swerve on to the wrong side of divided highway 49 in collins, mississippi. >> i can't watch! >> god, i can't either. this is going to be bad. god,dang, he's going to hurt somebody, severely bad. >> that's the voice of a louisiana restaurant owner. al fanning, his wife, and two kids were driving home from the beach when they first saw the car driving in front of them, weaving all over the place. you pulled up alongside him and looked over at him? >> he had both hands on the steering wheel, and his head was just dropped, like he was unconscious. i was blowing the horn at him, trying to get him to wake up. >> at a traffic light, the car crossed over to the wrong side of the highway, and that's when the fannings started recording. >> there it is, oh, good god! >> reporter: we've seen plenty of wrongay car video.

>> police! i've just been hit be the individual. >> reporter: from this dash cam video of a utah trooper who saw the vehicle going the wrong way, turned around, and got in front of it, to this scary cell pho video. >> oh, no! of a car in oregon weaving into the opposite lane. >> no, no, no! >> reporter: and eventually going off the road. >> stop, stop, stop, stop! >> reporter: what they have in common is, you wait for the worst to happen. >> close your eyes. molly, do not look. this is going to hurt somebody severely bad. >> reporter: the good news is "severely bad" was not the outcome. >> oh, my gosh! there it went! there it went! the wrong-way car hit a ford expedition. >> stay in the car. stay in the car. >> al fanning opened the door of the exposition and two female occupants walked out, basically unhurt. >> we sat there in the ditch together. >> reporter: the driver of the wrong-way car, 58-year-old

edward fairly suffered a broken shoulder and other nonlife-threatening injuries. fanning say police believe a medical condition may have caused his wild driving. fanning himself has been cheered for helping and not just recording. though recording while driving got fanning a scolding. >> because he's not focused on the raw himself. >> i knew that was coming. >> reporter: but no one knew that this was coming. >> oh, my gosh! zpl >> reporter: jeanne moos, cnn, new york. >> cnn newsroom continues right now with brooke baldwin. hi, brooke. >> hi, suzanne, thank you. hello, everyone, i'm brooke baldwin. it is video that sends chills down your spine. have you seen this? this 10-year-old girl, there she is, walking down this philadelphia street, hand in hand with her 2-year-old brother, you see she is snatched. some creep comes up and tries to grab her, tries being the operative word. you see him running away, so it's attempted abduction. they've been looking for this guy, the whole thing caught on camera. because of that, we are hearing a suspect is now behind bars.

philadelphia police department is set to announce an arrest this hour and as soon as that happens, we will bring that you live. also happening right now, we are watching and waiting. take a look at the double box here on the left-hand side of your screen. these are live pictures from jacksonville, florida, as we are waiting to hear from president oba obama. right side of your screen, this is boston's roxbury neighborhood. we are waiting to hear from mitt romney. both men running a little late onhis thursday afternoon. both men out to hit hard at the other. we will bring you their comments live as soon as they get underway. we're watching that closely for you. but first, if it's interesting and happening right now, "rapid fire," roll it. a bulgarian government minister says the man who blew up a bus yesterday, killing five israelis had a fake michigan driver's license. here's the surveillance video. it shows, we've highlighted it, the suspected bomber who also died in the attack along with the bulgarian bus driver.

israel blames iran for the massive blast, but iranian embassy officials dismiss the claim. 36 other israeli tourists were hurt. also this -- [ gunfire ] that is the sound of automatic gunfire and the death toll rising in syria. attempts to bring u.n. sanctions against syrian officials failed today, vetoed by russia and china. and in just a couple of minutes, we're going to be talking with a mideast expert who will tell us what a government collapse will look like. when it comes to supporting gay marriage, you can count chick-fil-a out. it's president, dan kathy, generating a social media firestorm when he was asked by the baptist east response about traditional marriage. kathy response is this, "guilty as charged. we are very much supportive of the family -- the biblical definition of the family unit. we are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we

are married to our first wives. we give god thanks for that." chick-fil-a is a christian-based company that is closed on sundays and is known for giving back to the community, but the gay supporters are so upset about this, overall calling for boycotts across the night. cathy made similar comments about gay marriage on the ken coleman show and we'll have ken on this show next hour. congresswoman michele bachmann going too far, even for her fellow republicans. she is demanding an investigation into whether muslim extremists have infiltrated the government. and that seems to worry the top republican of the house, speaker john boehner. >> from everything that i do know of her, she has a sterling character. and i think accusations like this being thrown around are pretty dangerous. >> wolf blitzer interviewing speaker boehner today. be sure to watch "the situation roo room", coming up after this show, 4:00 eastern for what speaker boehner has to say. a controversial mosque in

tennessee may en today. the beginning of the muslim holy month of ramadan. the expansion of the islamic center in murphiesboro in nashville has met with resistance over concerns of an increased risk of terrorism, and now after two years of legal ranging, a federal judge ruled yesterday it could hope. >> today we can all celebrate that freedom of religion is, in fact, existing in america. and it's a day where i want to extend my hand to everyone, even the people in the opposition. we want nothing but to have a good relationship with everyone. >> reporter: the mosque has to pass a final build inspection before officially opening its doors. and now to developments here in syria. hours ago, syrian tv showed video here of president bashar al assad. these are the very first images broadcast of him since

yesterday's deadly attack on his top officials, really members of his inner circle. and this comes as china and russia vetoed the latest effort this morning at the united nations to bring sanctions against assad and his ream. [ gunfire ] as this is happening, opposition leaders claim violence in syria has taken more than 90 lives just today. it now appears it is not if assad falls, but when. and to help us understand how this could play out, let's bring in andrew tabler, he is the author of "in the lion's den" and joins me from washington. andrew, welcome back. >> thanks. >> as we are talking now, really more the "when," when the assad vernment collapses, what does that collapse look like? how does that play out? >> it's a good question. no one really knows, but i think it's unlikely it will look like in cairo or tunisia with a dramatic scene in the center of

the capital and the leader going, or anything like yemen, with a negotiated transition. i think increasingly, it looks like assad will try and shoot his way out of this, but be unable to do so over part of our syrian territory. so you can see the regime's control shrinking, which it already has in a de facto sense. and with that, you would see some sort of collapse of syria, as we know it, at least for the temporary and the immediate term. >> there is a lot of fear, andrew, about the stockpile of chemical weaponry that is believed to be inside of syria. and if you can, walk me through the cost and the benefits if the israelis were to go into syria and try to raid this stockpile. how would that be beneficial, both to israel, to the rest of the world, but also to syria? >> it could be very dangerous, in the sense that 45 esmated sites or maybe more, they could be bombed, and those would kill a lot of civilians in the

process. that could then backfire politically and actually strengthen president bashar al assad's hand on his way out and that's why israel's opinion very, very cautious about this, but of course concerned. >> if that were to happen, if assad were to delve into this stockpile, is that the line that he would have to cross in order for russia to take definitive action against such a long-standing ally, you think? >> it's a very good question. i think that basically with today the's veto, given the situation on the ground, russia is not going to break with the assad regime, because they know that the collapse of the regime there just means it's going to control less territory. there's a real possibility here of having a rump alawite state on the syrian coast or just slowly pulling back from areas in the north and eastern part of the country, which is predominantly sunni. and we have some early reports that some border crossings have fallen under the control of the rebels.

we can't substantiate them, but if it's true, we could see the regime's hold on the country slipping more rapidly than we thought. >> do you think it would initially slip within damascus? would it be the outer lying communities? would it be the alawite minority communities that you're talking about, you know, the assad loyalists? how would that demise happen? >> yeah, well, the game that the regime plays with the opposition is what we call in security of services is the whack-a-mole game, and like the carnival game, you're trying to hit the head of the mole, but it goes back down. and the problem is that the regime can't play in all parts of the country at the same time. so do they pull back? and do they decide to cede some areas to the rebels? and if they do, do the rebels declare an independent libertied area, like they did in bosnia. and does that get a massive response from the regime that lead to atrocities? that's what has everyone very worried at the moment. >> andrew, i want to talk more about this video, it was shot very recently because you see president assad shaking hands

with his new defense minister. defense minister and several others killed in that bombing just yesterday. you and i have already discovered that president assad is delusional. here he is, he's smiling, andrew. >> sure. >> is he trying to project an image of stability? do you think his own people buy that after all of this? >> no, they don't. this is typical president assad. now, he's meeting with the new defense minister, who's a sunni from hama. so he's actually somebody who's in a very tight spot. the fact that assad has surfaced is trying to tell everyone in the country two things, one, a, hey, i'm alive, and b, i have a defense minister to take the place of the one that was just killed. and that's going to lead us into the next response, which i fear will be the regime lashing out in massive force against its own people. >> hopefully not. i hope not to have that conversation with you. >> me too. >> andrew tabler, thank you. author of "in the lion's den."

appreciate it. we have a lot more to cover for you the next two hours, including this. after days of bruising assaults against his campaign, mitt romney comes out swinging hard against president obama, and it's all over these four words, "you didn't build that." i'm brooke baldwin, the news is now. the video is spine-chilling. a 10-year-old girl walking along a philadelphia street when this happens. the girl's safe and now the suspect's been caught. plus, it's been called exceptional, severe, historic, but there's another word to describe the drought sapping so much of the nation, costly. >> you'll probably see higher prices later this year. >> and he says it was god's will. george zimmerman gives his account of the trayvon martin killing. it may sway public opinion, but it doesn't sway trayvon martin's parents. >> god did not have a plan for trayvon to die.

i tell mike what i can spend. i do my best to make that work. we're driving safely. and sue saved money on brakes. now that's personal pricing. and here we go. as if on cue, here he is, mitt romney, just began speaking,

roxbury, massachusetts. let's take a listen. >> this is a day where we received some news which is not encouraging. jobless claims are up in this country, again, and consumer confidence has now shown the third straight month of decline, that is a record which has not been matched since 2008. and in the face of that, we're surprised that the president has not met with his jobs council, in the last six months. and the white house was asked why that was, and they said, well, the president has a lot on his plate. so we take a look at his schedule. and over the last six months, he has done 106 fund-raisers. and so i think you learn something about the president's priorities. the job he's interested in protecting is his own. the job that should be protected is the job of men and women in this country who want to get jobs and who want to go back to work, who want of rising incomes again. now, this is the kind of place

that has put people to work. over the years, over the decades brian and his son have built this enterprise to employ people from this community in good jobs with good opportunities. i'm pleased to hear the story about how they built this business. and by the way, they did build this business. when the president said that if you've got a business, you didn't build it. come here and talk to brian. and you'll learn that, in fact, he did build this business. someone else isn't responsible for what he did here. he's the one that took the risk. he's the one that built this enterprise. he's the one responsible for helping get these people these jobs. and then the people who work here, they're also responsible for helping build this business. they came together and did it together. this is not the result of government. this is the result of people who take risk, who have dreams, who build for themselves, and for their families. now, i know there are some

people who think what the president said was just a gaffe. it wasn't a gaffe. it was, instead, his ideology. the president does, in fact, believe that people who build enterprises like this really aren't responsible for it. but, in fact, it's a collective success of the whole society, so somehow builds enterprises like this. in my view, we ought to celebrate people who start enterprises and employ other people. the president, by the way, in his remarks, went on not just to talk about, if you have a business, you didn't build it, he went on to talk about other measures of success. he said, if you think you're smart, well, there are a lot of other smart people. and if you think you're working hard, there are a lot of other hard-working people. where was he going with that? what's he trying to say? that we don't celebrate and reward success and achievement? my own view is that if you attack success, you'll continue to see what we've seen over these last 3 1/2 years, which is less success. america is a nation which is

defined by people comeiing to achieve their dreams. we're a nation of dreamers and risktakers. and in the process of doing so, they make us better off, they lift one another. i just don't think the president by his comments suggests an understanding of what it is that makes america such a unique nation. why people have come here for hundreds of years. it's because this is the land of opportunity. we with welcome people here, with dreams, and say to them, come build it! not come here because government will give it to you, but come here because this is a place where your dreams will be good for you and good for our entire nation. >> sounds like an election year, folks. mitt romney speaking with supporters in roxbury, massachusetts. and just on the other side of the screen, guess who else just started speaking, the president himself. he is in jacksonville, florida. by the way, this is his seventh

trip to florida this year. let's see what he says. >> -- a big state like florida, and we'd have to travel across the state. and i didn't have air force one back then. no marine one. so i didn't even have gps. so i'd be driving, maybe i'd have one staff person in the car. and since we didn't have map quest, i had to have a map, and i'd fold it and then i'd try to unfold it, and fold it back the way it was, and i'd get it all messed up. and i'd get lost, and then once i got to an event, i'd have to find parking, and sometimes i couldn't find a parking spot or i'd get rained on. but, you know, i have such fond memories of those early campaigns. because no matter where i went, no matter what community, inner city, rural town, meeting with

black folks, white folks, latinos, asians, native americans, didn't matter what background people came from. no matter how much they looked different on the surface, there was a common thread to all the stories that i heard as i traveled around the state. yeah, i'd meet an elderly couple and they'd remind me of my grandparents. i'd think about my grandfather who fought in patton's army in world war ii. my grandmother working on a bomber assembly line while he was gone, and when he came back, he was rewarded with a chance to go to college on the gi bill. they were able to buy their first home with an fha loan. and i'd think about the journey that they had traveled and everything that that greatest generation had done to build

america. or i'd meet a middle class couple and i'd think about michelle's parents, especially her dad who had multiple sclerosis, so by the time i met him, he could barely walk. had to use two canes. had to work up an hour earlier than everybody else to get to work, because that's how long it took to get him dressed, but would not miss a day of work. and i thing about michelle's mom who ended up working as a secretary for most of her life, and how despite the fact that they never had a lot, they were able to give michelle and michelle's brother the best education possible. and how remarkable that was, this country that we live in. and then i'd meet a single mom, and i'd think about my own mother, who raised my sister and me with the help of my grandparents, because my dad left when i was a baby. >> so this is day one of a two-day swing for the president.

he is swinging back through, the all-important battleground state of florida. we should also point out, there are 29 electoral votes in that state, and according to recent polling, it is really a dead heat for those electoral votes. take a look at numbers here. this is actually some good news for romney. this is a new cbs news/"new york times" poll out today. has romney at 47%, president obama just a little lower at 46. obviously, that's well within the margin of error, and the poll found one in five voters say they could still change their minds by november. you can keep watching mitt romney and president obama, go to cnn.com/live. now to the weather, no rain. high temperatures, a recipe for disaster this summer. the corn and soybean crops are drying up. so many farmers are hurting. they're seeing their profits disappear. we'll take you to the nation's heartland, live, next. the medicare debate continues in washington...

nearly 1,300 counties across 29 states as drought disaster areas. folks, that's a third of the country. look at that red. here's what's happening on the ground. fields are bone-dry. crops withering in the ground. all of this threatens to drive up the cost of the food you put on the table. cnn's rob marciano is in whiteland, indiana, and looks like you're surrounded by some cows there. so i'm guess we're talking dairy. i know we've talked losses in corn crops and grains, now it's threatening dairy supply. what are you hearing? >> reporter: well, i mean, they eat corn and grain and they need it to produce milk, so, boom, you know if you decrease what they eat, we're going to decrease production. the other thing that decreases production that you may not know is the heat. just like me and you, if it's hot out, you won't eat a lot. so we're trying to keep them cool, we do that with fans and they even have some misters. what's up, guys? just to give you an idea of what

this stuff is, they get a little bit nervous when i come around, rightfully so. this is corn, this is alfalfa hay, even some by-products from the ethanol plant, some of which have been shut down. so all of this is agreesing production of the food. so their milk is being decreased as well. this is last year's feed. the problem is this year's crop is way, way down and that's what has dairy farmers nervous. talked to a sixth generation farmer today, the guy that owns this farm, and earlier today, he told me just how concerned he is. >> we've had some up zps downs in milk prices and some dry weather before, but this is probably the most -- i've been here 42 years doing this and it's probably the worst that i've seen overall. we was just fortunate last night to get about a half inch of rain, but it's kind of too late. >> reporter: and it's not just dairy farms. cattle farmers, they eat this

stuff too and they'll have to face some tough decisions in the coming months. listen to this. >> yeah, we just have to be optimistic and thank god that we got what we've got. >> is it can getting difficult to be optimistic? >> yeah, sometimes. yeah. >> what's your fallback to get through a day? >> just our faith, i guess. just the faith that, you know, tomorrow will be better. >> reporter: emotions running high, as you can imagine. i mean, these people -- this is a lifestyle for them. it's not just a job. and some of these cows and cattle, heads of cattle, may very well have to be sold off sooner than they would like, and that is a scary proposition. dairy production, brooke, in the u.s., we do 21 billion gallons of it. there are 60,000 dairy farms, 99% are family-owned. so these aren't big corporations out here that are suffering, these are mom and pop joints.

although this one's pretty big, they've got 500 dairy cows here, and i'll tell you what, they can pump out some milk, but not as much as they would be, that's for sure. >> my heart goes out to the guy we just heard from, these ranchers and farmers, and i think when i pour mil in my coffee tomorrow morning, i'll sort of really appreciate all that they do for us. wow, rob marciano, thank you so much. again, in 29 states, drought disaster declarations. rob, thank you. and abduction attempt puts the city on edge. surveillance video here shows a girl kicking and trying to pull away from her would-be abductor. there she goes, and here he goes in a moment. now a break in the case today. we are minutes away from philadelphia police announcing an arrest. i don't spend money on gasoline. i don't have to use gas. i am probably going to the gas station about once a month. drive around town all the time doing errands and never ever have to fill up gas in the city. i very rarely put gas in my chevy volt.

the streets. i'm talking about this presumably -- well,e don't know, actually, male, could be female. someone from this surveillance video trying to abduct a 10-year-old girl as she and her 2-year-old brother were walking from the store. now we have news, and we are awaiting this news in the form of a live press conference, that there has been an arrest in this particular case, and as soon as we see that police commissioner and the mayor behind that podium, we're going to take it for you live meantime, supreme court justice, antonin scalia, he came out from behind the beach and went in front of a television camera in a rare interview just last night. he sat down with cnn's piers morgan and declined to give the nitty-gritty behind the recent upholding of the individual mandate requiring all americans carry health insurance. >> do you think any of your colleagues acted from a politically motivated manner? >> not a single one of them. >> i know you can't discuss anything in the last session,

but a classic example some would say would be the health care thing. >> i don't think any of my colleagues on any cases vote the way they do for political reasons. they vote the way they do because they have their own, their own judicial philosophy, and they may have been selected by the democrats because they have that particular philosophy, or they may have been selected by the republicans, because they have that particular judicial philosophy. >> and how about this, scalia, a conservative, says one of his best friends on the supreme court is the liberal justice, ruth bader ginsburg. as you know, the swing vote came from known conservative chief justice, john roberts, and he is now apparently more popular with liberals after the ruling than he is with conservatives. so look at this, a new cbs news/"new york times" survey found just 9% of conservatives questioned had favorable opinion of the chief justice, with 18%

finding him unfavorable. but if you look at the liberals column on the right, 13% had a solid favorable opinion of him, 8% did not. overall here, one more number for you, 73% of americans didn't even know who chief justice john roberts is or had no opinion of wh him whatsoever. by the way, watch piers morgan tonight when he interviews john mccain. the arizona senator battled barack obama four years ago, so what advice does he have now for mitt romney? "piers morgan tonight" airs 8:00 eastern time right here on cnn. george zimmerman apologizes to trayvon martin's family, but says he has no regrets. the television interview that has many a legal analyst scratching their heads. why'd he do it? we're on the case, next.

i've got one eye on this news conference. looks like it's about to start. let's take it, it's police commissioner charles ramsey, on

news of an arrest in this abduction. >> one involving the attempted kidnapping, just a day ago of a 10-year-old and also the sexual assault case as well. i'll ask captain james darby to come forward from our special victims unit to speak first about the case of the attempted kidnapping, followed by the mayor and our district attorney, and then we will turn our attention to myers for an update on that. john? >> good afternoon. i do want to report first of all a significant development as it relates to an attempted abduction of a young child in a south philadelphia neighborhood a few days ago, south 2100 block of south lee street. the very specific, very clear

convincing video had been discovered by investigators at the scene. shortly after this incident, and about 3:50 p.m. on tuesday. as a result of that, tips began to come in, special victims unit, as the public and, quite frankly, internally from other police officers, and law enforcement began to digest that information. and as a result, at about midnight last night, we were made aware of an individual who made himself available to us at special victims unit. quite frankly, the significance is that with this information out there and some discussion within his family, he felt that he could not walk, talk, or breathe out there on the streets. as a result, he made himself available to us.

he went to special victims unit last night. lieutenant anthony mcfadden from the special investigators sat down with this individual. as a result of subsequent investigation through the early morning hours today, and in consultation with the district attorney district attorney's office, that male has been charged with a number of enumerated crimes. he is identified as a carlos figuero figueroa-f figueroa-fagot. he is a 33-year-old male. lives in the area of eighth and allegheny. he's had some prior contact with police, both here and outside of philadelphia. he -- as a result of the investigation, as i said, and in consultation, he has been

charged with the following crimes. that includes attempted kidnapping, unlawful restraint, indecent assault, aggravate indecent assault, corrupting the morals of a minor, interference with the custody of a child, simple assault, false imprisonment, and unlawful contact with a minor. it's a combination of a number of felony charges. >> and there you have it, a 32-year-old man, apparently lives in this area in south philadelphia, in and around where he tried kidnapping this little girl, who just so happened to be walking back from the store with her 10-year-old brother and so now we know that -- how about that? it really jumped out at me when the captain said, after a discussion with this suspect's family, he couldn't walk, talk, or breathe out there on the streets so he agreed to come in and talk to the special victims unit and fast forward to now and he's charged with multiple

charges including attempted kidnapping. so this creep off the streets. and the tv interview that has many, many analysts in the legal world wondering why he spoke. they're parsing through his words and we'll do the same next with sunny hostin, on the case. on a wednesday. at 2 am. get that great taste anytime with kingsford match light charcoal. legalzoom has an easy and affordable option. you get quality services on your terms, with total customer support, backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee. so go to legalzoom.com today and see for yourself.

killed 17-year-old trayvon martin. and zimmerman tells fox news host sean hannity that he is not a racist, that he is not a murderer, but there is one thing he has said that is grabbing all the headlines today, and here it is. >> i feel that it was all god's plan, and for me to second-guess it or judge it -- >> "all god's plan." as you can imagine, that did not go over very well with trayvon martin's parents. they appeared just this morning on cnn. >> i think it's absolutely ridiculous. god did not have a plan for trayvon to die. and for george zimmerman to shoot trayvon for no reason. >> i want to bring in legal analyst sunny hostin in new york on the case. and sunny, there's so much talk about this interview, specifically, as it is his first, but why do you think -- why do the interview in the first place? >> well, that one has me scratching my head, brooke, and it has all night, actually, because it's never a good idea

for a criminal defendant, who is facing second-degree murder charges, to become wedded to a story. and that's what has happened now to george zimmerman. so i think many people are asking the question, why do it? some are speculating, maybe it was a sort of shake the can interview. because we know that his funds have been depleted. he needs funds to defend himself. and some are saying, rather than an interview with, you know, sean hannity, this was really an interview with prospective jurors in florida. >> right. sort of an appeal to those prospective jurors, to give his side of the story. >> let me play a little bit more sound. this is the martin family attorney. this is what he says about last night's interview. >> the state attorney is going to see this interview as a gift when they get ready to cross-examine george zimmerman. >> so on the gift angle, what parts of the interview did you hear that you think prosecutors

could see as a gift? >> well, i agree that it was a gift. anytime, again, a defendant in a criminal prosecution decides to give a statement on television or otherwise, that's always a gift. because a prosecutor's going to look at it with a fine-toothed comb and dissect it and look for inconsistencies. one of the major inconsistencies that i found is that on the 911 tapes, he talks about following trayvon martin and the dispatcher discourages him from doing so. well, yesterday during the interview, he says he wasn't following him, he was just going in his direction. that goes to the crucial part of this case. whether or not he can invoke the stand your ground defense. because if you are the initial aggressor, if you are the pursuer, you may not avail yourself of that defense. and i think that that was a crucial, crucial mistake that george zimmerman made yesterday. >> okay, so that could be the potential gift. i do just want to read what mark o'mara, of course, cnn reached out to zimmerman's attorney and he said he thought the interview went great.

said that george, he thought, came across as sincere and thought it went well. one more question and then i'll let you go. another part of the interview, zimmerman first told hannity he didn't have any regrets about the night that he shot trayvon martin, and at the very end of the interview, he turned to the camera and he contradicted that. >> i would like to re-address your question when you asked if i would have done anything differently. when you asked that, i thought you were referring to, if i would not have talked to the police, if i would have maybe got an attorney, if i wouldn't have taken the cbsa, and that i stand by. i would not have done anything differently. but i do wish that there was something, anything i could have done that wouldn't have put me in the position where i had to take his life. >> why'd he do that? why'd he look at the camera and say that? >> yeah, again, because i think this was an interview with supporters and this was an interview with prospective

jurors. this was a problem for george zimmerman, especially because in answer to specific questions like, did you regret getting out of the car that night, his response was a clear no. did you regret having a gun that night? his response was a clear no. the follow-up was, do you have any regrets? his response was a clear no. so to sort of then try to backtrack toward the end of this interview with an appeal to the public, i think may have come across as disingenuous. >> sunny hostin, thank you. >> thanks. and now with -- with this week's "human factor," here is dr. sanjay gupta. >> reporter: take a close look at each one of these beautiful girls. some of their scars are more apparent than others, but they've all gathered here to heal, together. >> i see them arrive and they're wounded. they have a social arm around them. and each one of those girls, they see me. >> reporter: for lisa cartelli, this is personal. she was just 9 years old when she was badly burned in a natural gas explosion at her

grandparent's home in detroit. >> my sister and i arrived at the home for dinner and i went down to the basement to play hide and go seek. >> reporter: lisa was in the wrong place at the wrong time, when the gas met the light on the furnace. >> the explosion goes off and i hear the screams of my family. a sense of urgency, of survival kicks in and i started climbing over bricks and nails and furniture and everything to get out. i got out of the house, still on fire. my back and my face and my hair. >> reporter: lisa founded the angel faces retreat. now in its ninth year, to teach these young women in just one week what took her two decades to come to grips with. >> i am so proud of all of you girls. >> they begin by sharing, the good, the d, and the downright ugly. >> i want to hear from you girls. just bring it all out. some of the names that you're called.

hideous. burn-face, crusty crab, burn bitch. >> they call us burnt toast. >> each girl even learns how to enhance their appearance with corrective cosmetics. >> you know, there's nothing wrong, we tell the girls, in taking what beauty you have and making it more beautiful. and sometimes that's all it takes for them to sit up a little taller. it's important that the girls know that they're not burn survivors. it's important that they know they're not the burn girl. they're girls first. and that's my message to the girls that i want them to take back. >> dr. sanjay gupta, cnn, reporting. she is an actress, she's a dancer, she is a political activist, she is jennifer grey, as in "dirty dancing" jennifer grey, as in "dancing with the stars" jennifer grey. she is here in studio 7. hello! so nice to meet you. >> hi, brooke. >> welcome! >> we're talking, after the

break. how you doing, baby? >> hi, nice to meet you. [ buzz ] off to work! did you know honey nut cheerios is america's favorite cereal? oh, you're good! hey, did you know that honey nut cheerios is... oh you too! ooh, hey america's favorite cereal is... honey nut cheerios ok then off to iceland! here at the hutchison household. but one dark stormy evening... there were two things i could tell: she needed a good meal and a good family. so we gave her what our other cats love, purina cat chow complete. it's the best because it has something for all of our cats! and after a couple of weeks she was healthy, happy, and definitely part of the family. we're so lucky that lucy picked us.

25 years ago, film lovers, myself included, learned where a girl named frances houseman should stand. >> nobody puts baby in a corner. >> as baby came out of the corner, "dirty dancing" entered into movie history as this little film that generated big, big bucks. "entertainment weekly" reports that "dirty dancing" was made for $6 million. guess what, it went on to gross $214 million worldwide, spurned a musical, a spin-off set in cuba, who knew, and a remake is in the works now. now in celebration, the dessert brand skinny cow is hosting movie screenings of the 1987 romance between a guy from the wrong side of the tracks and a

girl headed to college. and jennifer grey, who played baby, you've been attending these screenings all around. it is such a pleasure to admit you. i am embarrassed to admit how many times i've watched this movie. >> well, i've been watching cnn for how many years. >> we appreciate that. >> huge fan. >> of all the times i've seen this movie, i want you to tell me something that you've never shared about the movie before, give me a little something-something. >> i mean, i feel like for 25 years, i've been asked that question, so i'm trying to think of something fresh, but i think it's -- i look back on it, and i feel like it was not only something that has had lasting impact on audiences for 25 years, which is just the crazest, greatest gift in the world, to be able to make something that people love for year after year, but the idea that it actually gives joy to people is, i just think, i'm moved to tears by it, because i

think you're just going to work. you're just going to do your job. >> you had no idea you were creating at time. >> how old were you when you made it? >> 27 when i made it, 28 when i came out. and i was a kid and i just look back on it now, and when i look at it, i think, god, i was so young, even though i wasn't as young as i was playing, and i just think about all that life -- because it's kind of like looking at a family album. because i don't watch the movie. the only time i see it like when we see a clip on your show. >> we'll play a clip. >> no, i'll start crying. >> us being cnn, this is from the movie premiere in new york from 1987, you had just survived a pretty horrible car accident. take a look. >> it's about a real loss of innocence of a girl. very often we see a lot of movies that are from a boy's point of view. >> and she's on the road to finding out who she is and growing up and becoming a woman.

and it turns into a very unlikely, ill-fated, wonderful little love story. >> you have to live life to the fullest, every day, because you never know what's around the corner. and i know it sounds corny, but i codn't -- i couldn't mean it more. i'm very happy to be alive. >> you never know what's around the corner. >> what is this, like barbara walters. are you trying to make me cry? >> i don't mean to. >> that was such a setup. >> i was just talking to patrick swayze's widow, his wife on the show. >> you know, that was a cheap shot. >> i'm sorry! i had to idea. >> you know what's amazing about it is that the movie's about a loss of innocence and i feel likewhen that movie came out, six days before, i was in a car crash, where a mother and a daughter were killed. and i feel like my life changed. and it was like a loss of my innocence. and i just feel like we all have different little windows into the possibility of what life can be. you know, of the joy that we can

have. and i feel like i was -- i look at myself in that tape, and i look so in shock. i was so in shock. and i'd never seen that film. i'd never seen that tape, that you just showed. >> you hadn't? >> no. i don't go back and look at things that i've done like that. it's just so shocking, because i look so -- i'm still kind of checked out. and i feel so much more -- i feel so different. i'm such a different person now, as it happens with baby in the movie. and i think that's why people respond so strongly to it, because they identify with that, once the innocence is gone -- >> and just finally, the loss of your friend. >> and you know, there's so many moments, you know, where you make decisions, and when they asked me to do "dancing with the stars," i wasn't going to do it, because i didn't want people to think i was a bad dancer, which i was. i mean, i'm just not -- >> you won, my friend. >> i know, but i'm not a trained dancer. so i had never done it, and when patrick passed right before, they'd been asking me for like

nine seasons, and i realized, you know, when he left, and i had just gotten thyroid cancer myself, i thought, what are we doing here? why are we not letting -- why are we letting fear dictate what we do and don't do? if i love to dance, why would i stop dancing because i was in a movie about that? which brings me to like why i'm here. you know, this 25th anniversary was very ingeniously timed with this tour that these amazing guys at skinny cow, who make the yummy ice cream and candy, they said, you know what, we found out that women, nine out of ten women do not spend enough time with their girlfriends. so they created this whole scheme, this tour, this whole -- >> and now all of us ladies, i just spent a whole long weekend with a bunch of girlfriends on vacation. >> how amazing. >> we need our girlfriends. >> we need our girlfriends, we need to dance, we need to go to a chick flick, we need to eat ice cream and treats.
